Reorganisation of the British navy according to the Dutch newspaper De Sumatra Post dated 11 October 1932

The British newspaper Daily Telegraph published a news item dated London 3 October according to which an important reorganisation of the British navy was expected. Main issues were to combine the forces in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean and to fit out the Mediterranean fleet with smaller vessels as in the past was common. This reorganisation was made possible by promises of important support done by the Dominions at Ottawa.
